One More Time

For reasons unknown (well I know them, but I choose to ignore them) I was thinking about Britney Spears and one thing led to another, so here you go...

For those of you who are not that into pop, here's another version, a cover by Bowling For Soup

And one by The Veronicas
What do you say if we call this our song of the day?

Haunted

Enterrarte donde tu presencia no duela. Esconderte donde tu recuerdo no me lastime. Es tu recuerdo mas cortante que una navaja. Es tu ataque peor que el todo que siento con esta nada. No hay nadie peor que el que hiere y engaña a quien solo supo darle amor a sabiendas de lo que eso causaría. Tu presencia me sigue hasta tu ausencia. Y me quema este fantasma de lo que pudo haber sido y por ti, no fue. Me pesa en el alma y sigo cogiendo el anzuelo y no puedo dejarlo ir. You haunt me.

Something New

Hi!  How are things?  Lately I've been feeling a little down because of sentimental reasons.  Whenever this happens to me I tend to do several things, like keeping busy, listening to music, watching TV,  watching movies, reading, writing, etc.  Another one of those things that make me feel better when in this situation is therapy, retail therapy to be more specific.  This las friday (Oct. 14) the newest Apple iPhone, the iPhone 4S came out.  I am an Apple fangirl, but I have never been the type to go and make lines to buy their things when they come out.  But since I was feeling down, my phone (an iPhone 3G) was old and slow and I was eligible for an upgrade, I decided o go for it and treat myself.  So now I am the proud owner of an iPhone 4S.  This is the fastest phone I have ever used.  It operates at incredibly fast speeds, it browses the web at great speeds, i feels almost instantaneous, I haven't had a dropped call, it looks beautiful, it takes great pictures.  I am in love with my new phone. :)  Steve Jobs did me good on this one. Just writing about it makes me all giggly inside!  Hahaha!

Without You by Usher & David Guetta


This song has been stuck in my head all weekend long.  Also, Usher looks, hot (as always).  The video has an utopic, positive, world coming together through music, while the song is a love song.  Usher is in it!!  (That is very important to me)  hahaha!  Take this song as your song of the day!  Enjoy!

Quote of the Day

"Nothing ever really ends, does it?"--The prophet Chuck in the series Supernatural

Quote of the day

"Time is fleeting,
Madness takes it's toll"  --From the Song The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Time

I've been thinking about time.  It is a real thing that is made up.  I know I'm using conflicting adjectives to describe it but it's true.  Let me explain my self.  It is real in the sense that we move, grow, change, experience things and live.  It is made up in the way in which we measure it.  Hours, minutes, days, years as concepts are made up by humans.  I believe that measuring time makes it appear to go faster.  I remember that when I was a child, Days where sooooo loooong, and summer lasted forever!  That is soooo not the case now. -.-  The difference?  I am more aware of the concept of time and it rules my life in a certain way.

Time is fleeting and it's made up of moments, which by definition are momentary (hahaha!  I did it on purpose).  So I try to use my time in a way that is fulfilling for me.  All this thinking and pondering about time brings me to relationships.  In a relationship you spend or share your time with someone else.  The thing is that time is the one thing we may never get back, there is no way to gain lost time.  So, the time you spend with someone is the biggest gift you can give, as the time someone spends with you is the biggest one you can receive.   Be aware of this and appreciate it people, cause as I said, that person will never get that time back.

Let's not take time for granted, ours or someone else's.  Time is the biggest, most meaningful and most important gift ever,  a way to truly show that you/he/she/they care.



Fear(less)

There are people in this world who live in fear.  That is no way to live.  And I mean different types of fear.  Did you know that your fear can hurt someone else?  Currently I'm going through a situation (as you may have noticed from my song selections for Song of the Day these past days), in a nutshell, I am in love with a guy who is in love with me but is afraid to make it official.  His being afraid and indecisive hurts me in many many levels.  I try to live my life without letting fear keep me from doing things.  Sometimes you need to take a risk, take a chance, jump.  And as one of my go to singer-songwriters, Taylor Swift, has defined it, that is what being fearless is about.  There is no way not to experience fear, ever; but you can use it as inspiration or you can let it hold you back.  I choose not to let it hold me back.  and yes, I've been hurt because of this, but also because of it I've experienced extreme happiness.

Happiness is but a moment, and moments are fleeting.  So, take a chance and cherish that moment, cause all moments pass.



Picture To Burn by Taylor Swift

Apparently I'm sending out a message!  Hahahaha!   This is your song of the day!  Enjoy!

Smile by Lilly Allen

Cause Karma sometimes need a helping hand, and it's called payback!  i love the video!  Enjoy this is your song of the day!

A day off

I decided to take the day and do nothing, a way to try to clear my head, to forget my troubles.  It kind of worked. It was a rainy day (my favorite kind of days) and it was Saturday, so I decided to skip my schoolwork and rent movies.  I rented three movies to watch with my mom (she's a movie buff, almost as much as me).  Renting the movies was an experience on it's own.Turns out that the place where I rent the movies, is where an old flame that wants to come back works...so, me, never burning a bridge, had to get all dressed up to rent a movie...I saw him, he saw me, his interest was sparked, mission complete :)

I rented Limitless (good), Let Me In (not for me) and Priest (so-so).  Watched them one right after the other, it was a mini marathon, after which I watched Saturday Night Live (good, but not as much as I expected it to be).  Also, before renting the movies, I went to eat at an all you can eat restaurant, did I pig out or what!?!?!  Now, hours later, my stomach still hurts...

Write to you later!  Keep those e-mails coming!

Don't Hold Your Breath by Nicole Scherzinger

I want to internalize the message of this song!  This is your song of the day, enjoy!

Just wondering....

Lately I've noticed that I have this habit.  I want to share this with you, to see if any of you does the same thing or if it's just me.  So, here it is:
Sometimes,  certain events, or words or phrases make a song instantly appear on my mind and start playing...it's like I'm soundtracking my life, as it happens...  is this weird or does it happen to anyone else?  Have I officially watched too much TN and movies, have I crossed the line and gone crazy?   Hahahaha!!!  Just wondering!!!!  LOL!!

Shake It Out by Florence + The Machine

I love this song!  The lyrics fit right into my current situation!  It's the new single from Florence + The Machine's upcoming album Ceremonials.  Enjoy your song of the day!!

Something old..

Today was a good day, correction a great day.  I had lunch with an old friend.  IIt had been more than a year and a half since we last saw each other and months since we've talked.  We spent hours together.  I needed that.  One of the best ways to measure a friendship is to put time and space between the two...and if after a long time you just come together like no time has passed, you've got a winner!!  I have several friends like that and I love them!!  Do you have any friends like that?

Obvious by Christina Aguilera

Your song of the day!   Today I was talking to an old friend and we were talking about a certain someone and this song came to mind.  Enjoy!

The Beatles- With A Little Help From My Friends


This is how I survived this weekend and how I'm getting over the blues!

The Cure For The Blues

This last weekend I got a visit, a visit I would rather not have had, I got a visit from the blues.  Certain things happened with certain people that got my mind working extra on thought I'd rather not have.  In my long experience with the blues I have come to find that there are several things that help a lot.  First, friends, true friends, the kind of friends that listen to everything I had to say, two and maybe three times, the kind of friends that feel for you and empathize with you.  I am lucky enough to have several of these friends, but this last weekend one in special, Eguie, was my salvation.  I have come to find that what The Beatles said was true, I do get by with a little help from my friends.

True friends are hard to find, I know it's a cliche, but truer words have never been spoken.  So, although this weekend one person gave me a reason to cry and be sad, my friends gave me many more reasons to smile.  This friend of mine and me, we have a passion in common, music.  This is another ingredient of the cure for the blues.  I listened to a lot of music this past weekend, I discovered new music, rediscovered old music and indulged in some of my favorites.  I have a special playlist on my iPod for when this happens.  Thanks to a little music exchanging with my friend, that playlist grew.  Music is powerful.  Music heals.  It connects us and gives us a sense of not being alone, someone else has been through the same thing and made it to the other side.  Through music you can speak to other people or say things you would be able to say other wise, or in such an eloquent way (Cee Lo Green's Fuck You anyone?).  How I listen to music varies, sometimes it's while I'm driving, my car is my therapy room.  While I'm stuck in traffic I tend to sing, cry and sometimes even scream, after which I tend to feel sooo much better.  Other times I'm alone in my bedroom, with the lights off (sometimes with a glass of wine ;-) , but I tend to to this only when I'm alone and know I won't be interrupted, since tears tend to come along), also, I love to hear music while I'm reading, a little background something.  This gets me to my other ingredient in the cure for the blues.  Reading.

I love to get lost in a good book, and ever since I began law school this has become  a reward, a little vacation.  I have no time to read for leisure anymore (sadly), but when the blues come to visit, everything else tend to go to hell and I have to indulge in myself, since I'm good for nothing else while in that condition.  SO I pick up a good book, put some music on and read.  I get so lost in the story that my mind switches off for a while and I forget about the blues or what/who gave them to me.  I have a very vivid imagination ( I like to think I owe this partly to the fact that I have always read, since I was a little girl), so vivid that I tend to picture what I read in my mind and sometimes, after reading something, I'm not sure if I read it on a book or saw it on a movie or TV.  Which gets me to the last of the ingredients of my cure for the blues (at least the last of the big important, never fail ingredients, there are other but, I've already written way to much), movies and TV.

I find that watching a movie, which movies depends on what caused the blues, also helps.  At least just a little, getting lost in someone else's story, making an artificial connection and empathizing with someone else, seeing that there are worse things that people have come out from, that gives me strength.  This last weekend I was in the mood for  (500) Days Of Summer, The Break-Up, The Way We Where, An Affair To Remember and Back To The Future.

I know for a fact that I have written mire than enough, so  write to you later...feel free to comment!!


Music from this weekend:
